My
work
for
January
is
as
foliows:
I
preached
forty
sermons,
made
sev-
enteen
regular
missionary
visits
at
different
homes,
distributed
four
hun-
dred
pages
of
tracts,
sold
$10
worth
of
¢“
Daniel
and
Revelation,”
received
and
read
about
one
hundred
letters,
and
wrote
ninety
letters.

As
expected
at
the
writing
of
our
last
report,
our
attendance
has
grown
to
such
an
extent
that
the
hall
is
now
well
filled
with
earnest
listeners
every
night,
and
the
prospects
are
good
for
immediate
results.
Already
there
has
been
a
noble
response
to
the
voice
of
God,
but
we
long
for
more
to
follow.
We
have
just
entered
upon
the
most
testing
features
of
the
message,
and
greatly
desire
that
God’s
mind
be
fully
met
in
their
presentation.
It
is
so
sweet
to
see
him
work
for
others
through
humanity,
and
how
precious
the
results
when
unobstructed.
We
desire
the
prayers
of
God’s
people
for
these
just
now
listening
to
the
truths
presented,
that
right
de-
cisions
be
made,
and
God’s
approval
rest
upon
all.
We
look
only
for
vie
tory.

CHESAPEAKE
CONFERENCE.
Work
on
the
eastern
shore
of
Maryland
is
an
interesting
problem.
September
1,
I
united
with
Elder
F.
W.
Mace
in
an
effort
at
Fairmount,
which
is
in
the
southern
extremity
of
Somerset
County
bordering
on
the
Tangier
Sound.
Within
a
radius
of
three
miles,
there
are
three
settle-
ments,
Upper
Fairmount,
Fairmount,
and
Landonville.
There
is
a
post
office
in
each
settlement.
The
com-
bined
population
is
about
one
thousand
five
hundred.
Before
we
came
here,
the
Method-
ists
had
full
possession.
Their
church
ATLANTIC
UNION
GLEANER
building
has
a
seating
capacity
of
about
five
hundred.
In
good
weather
it
is
well
filled,
especially
on
Sunday.
At
the
extreme
end
of
Lower
Fair
mount,
there
is
a
branch
of
the
M.
E,
Church.
The
minister
delivering
the
same
discourse
in
the
afternoon
that
was
given
at
the
upper
church
in
the
morning.
They
pay
their
preacher
$1,000
per
year.
The
people
depend
upon
what
they
catch
in
the
waters
for
aliving;
and,
as
a
rule,
are
illiterate,
somewhat
superstitious,
and,
of
course,
are
filled
with
prejudice.
At
the
introduction
of
our
work
here,
the
report
was
circulated
that
we
came
to
fight
Methodism.
This
at
once
arrayed
the
community
against
us.
This,
with
a
few
sermons
against
us
by
a
good
speaker,
resulted
in
a
system
of
lying
and
abuse.
Our
meet-
ings
being
interrupted
at
times,
by
firecrackers
being
discharged
in
our
portable
tabernacle,
and
yelling
after
those
who
attended
our
meetings.
All
this
has
been
borne
with
Chris
tian
fortitude
until
the
well-thinking
portion
of
the
community
have
signi-
fied
their
disapproval
of
such
be-
havior,
and
we
are
now
pleased
to
report
that
nine
are
professedly
keep-
ing
the
Sabbath,
and
as
many
more
must
soon,
or
abandon
hope
of
eternal
life.
Yeats
of
experience
in
working
among
this
class
of
people
have
de-
monstrated
the
truth
of
the
Testimon-
ies,
that
the
minister's
work
is
not
completed
in
the
pulpit,
but
rather
in
the
homes
of
the
people.
The
people
must
see
and
read
it
from
their
own
Bible.
They
must
be
shown
by
its
connections
that
it
is
the
truth
on
that
point.
This,
with
a
people
who
think
themselves
up-to-
date
with
the
world
(and
they
are
in
dress
and
custom),
and
a
people
who
do
not
know
the
use
of
a
marginal
reference
or
a
paragraph
sign
when
they
see
one,
makes
it
a
problematic
work
for
a
minister.
But
God
is
work-
ing,
and
souls
are
growing
in
grace
and
a
knowledge
of
the
truth,
and
while
the
work
1s
apparently
slow,
we
trust
God’s
blessing
will
make
it
rapid.
In
your
prayers
remember
Maryland.
